Weekly Weigh In 7/26/11

Weight = 192.0Loss = –0.6

Even thought the loss is tiny, this is an excellent week all things considered. On Thursday, the day after my surgery, there was a 199 / 200 on the scale. I am good with 192. Happy. Next week will be even better.

Monday was day one of a low carb start for me. No bread, no rice, beans, apple only for fruit, limited cheese and protein. It was also my first day back to exercise. I took more days off then I intended. Everything seems fine. I am beat today. Between the kettlebell class last night and the 4am toddler wake up, I am tired.

About this Blog

What does FIT mean to me. It encompasses my life. Its about balance. Its about exercise being a regular part of my day, like getting dressed. It's a state of mind where food has no control. Urges, binges and out of control eating never happen. A place where life is at an even pace even during chaos.

This is my sounding board for my journey to find the fit girl within. I know she's in there somewhere. I am 40, married with 2 beautiful, crazy, insane, fun boys - a 9 year old and a 4 year old. I stay at home to run my house and raise my boys and volunteer all over time. My highest weight (not pregnant) is 232 (in 2007). It might have been higher at some point but that's is the highest recorded I know of.

I have been writing here for sometime. I have had a roller coaster of a journey and as many failures as successes. I reached my lowest of 185 in about April 2011. It's now 2013 and in the summer I've topped out at about 225. I am working an me and bringing the fit girl back in my daily life.
